Relaxed selection during a recent human expansion

2016-07-19

Abstract excerpt

Humans have colonized the planet through a series of range expansions, which deeply impacted genetic diversity in newly settled areas and potentially increased the frequency of deleterious mutations on expanding wave fronts. To test this prediction, we studied the genomic diversity of French Canadians who colonized Quebec in the 17 th century. We used historical information and records from ∼4000 ascending geneal...
